The New Hampshire Knights of Columbus is once again sponsoring a Student Respect Life Essay Contest. The contest is open to any junior and senior high school student in NH. The NH Knights of Columbus will make up to six cash awards of $100. Students do not have to be a member of the Knights or a Catholic.
The theme for this year’s contest is: "Jesus I Trust in You."
This is a simple prayer (Divine Mercy Chaplet) offering hope and peace. "How do I explain the power of this prayer to someone experiencing anxiety or fear, such as from an unplanned pregnancy?"
The deadline is midnight on Tuesday, Dec. 15.
Essays may not be longer than 500 words; typed, and submitted as a PDF or Word document and emailed to matu19@comcast.net. Include student name, age, grade, school, parent name and address, phone, parish and email. Students may obtain help and information, including from parents, teachers, friends, and internet, but the essay itself must be their own work.
Further contest details may be obtained from KofC NH contest chair John P. Matuszewski at 603-434-4098 or KofC NH State Pro-Life Director Roy Dennehy at 603-552-5270.
